Antiwork

I work for a large tech company in the US. This info was just relayed from upper management stating (I work on the facilities team), “by early next week, an email will be going out stating that all employees must return to the office, if they’re in close proximity to the office space.” The company is removing their “swap to remote” policies and are making everyone return. God this company and the CEO are so tone deaf. Either everyone is going to quit, or everyone is going to complain so that the rules change. This should be fun!

When I had been there for about a year they decided that it was easier to start a new group chat than to kick the ex staff member off of it as they never commented, just showed up as seeing whatever was posted. It took them 6 days to start a new one without me. I sent something to the owner (we have similar tastes in artwork) and got a “like” but nothing else. I continue to like and share their posts because they're a small business that needs promoting and I'm not a dick. But 4 weeks since I left, and only one person will talk to me. Like if you don't like me, why are you still following me on Facebook and Instagram? And I know one of them is only like that because if they act like they're friends with me it'll cause issues for them at…

Title says backstory Current minimum wage in my province is $15 an hour CAD- and it’s part time so no benefits. I need advice on what to do- I.E. how do I negotiate hours I want and should I try to aim for over minimum or just take what I can get? For an idea of the job market RN- “nobody wants to work” say the billionaires. My friend who got a job at the local Tim Hortons said “They’re so desperate for workers it’s not even funny” Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this

I feel like I am in the significant minority on this one sometimes. Everyone around me is brainwashed by the toxic work culture mindset of non-stop productivity and presenteeism. I have always found it weird to request time off for any reason. Often times it's stuff that we can't do anything about anyway so why are we requesting it? We're not indentured servants, forced to pay off a debt. Employment is optional to start or finish, but rarely to take a break during. Why?!!? please bossman, pretty please can I have a tiny amount of my own life back so I can fix my root canal/once-a-decade vacation/scratch my ass at home because that's my business?? NO Fine, I'll take my entire lunch, both 15 minute breaks, extended bathroom 'breaks', and the last 3 hours of the day to browse Reddit while sitting at my desk at work, and every time…

Along with, apparently, most of their departments—even supervisors were sent packing. No warning, no severance, no offers of help whatsoever yet. Absolutely nothing to do with performance, either; just straight up “get thee out”. Something about spending the money on some high-up’s lawyer fees rather than employ a few dozen people, or something along those lines. We mean less than nothing to these formless, heartless, soulless entities. The sooner everyone wakes the hell up and realizes this, the better.

​ I applied for a sales position online with this company 2 months ago. Never even received a rejection letter. I have over 22 years of successful experience in the specific industry/roles listed, and I’m willing to work for their pay structure. I provided a full resume, with references and contact info. Beyond learning this company’s policies and procedures, the learning curve would be almost non existent. They are still hiring for the position. I have 4 theories: 1- I am over the age demographic at 59. 2- I don’t speak fluent Spanish. 3- Online application systems are flawed and dehumanizing. 4- All of the above.

So I am in IT sector and working in a company based Germany but I am living in Turkey (100% remote). So who don't know Turkey is not in EU and company legally don't have to provide me any benefits like health care, PTO or sick day. Legally(in Turkey) I am self employed. I am the only one who work from out side of EU in the company, still they gave me(I didn't ask for it) 30 days PTO, unlimited sick day(if I provide a doctor's writing). Only down side is they can't provide me work tools like laptop because Turkey customs doesn't allow it (They think you bought these items and want their cuts/taxes). 2 weeks ago I get a job offer from a company who based in US but they even refuse to let me know what is the budget(range) before going in interview and I said no.…
